Here comes another (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_829627.html?menu=news.quirkies).

What is with these judges?

And what is with reporters who use expressions like 'head judge' and 'penal inquiry' when reporting on them?

Of course, I realize that it must get pretty dull just sitting up there behind the bench all day. But do you really have to resort to self-gratification in open court? I mean, there are so many non-sexual ways to ward off courtroom boredom: pounding your gavel; going through the counsels' briefs; persuading the plaintiff to drop his suit; wondering if the defense attorney will get her client off; trying to see how stiff you can make your sentence, etc.
